'Virtually inedible' food at Trump's State Fair should be an 'impeachable offense': WaPo

The catastrophes at Trump's "Great American State Fair" on the Washington Mall keep multiplying. Now adding to the inventory of failures—sparse crowds, broken rides, canceled concerts, collapsing structures, and hostile weather—is the food.
A Washington Post investigation found the culinary offerings included one that was deemed "virtually inedible," which seems par for the course for the much-maligned White House endeavor, with the report noting, "We also found snacks that should be impeachable offenses."
The most basic problem, according to the Post, it is difficult to find food, bad as it is.

Children dressed up in Willy Wonka costumes and excited to enter what was advertised as a “full immersive experience…promising a day of pure imagination and wonder” were instead disappointed by a seemingly unprofessional event where they received no chocolate, leading outraged parents to demand refunds for their £35 ($44) tickets.

...the only major difference being that the President of the United States wasn't laundering millions of dollars of bribe money through the Willy Wonka event.
I think it's more that the concessionaires are trying to sell what they think people want to buy, but they're worried about stuff going bad in the heat.
From the OP link:
Then there were the losers.
Chocolate chip cookie ($4): "Anyone, and everyone, involved in this baking travesty should be impeached. The cookie is minuscule. The dough is nondescript. And the chocolate chips are few and far between," the Post reporters noted.
A bacon, egg and cheese foot-long pretzel roll ($12), was described as an "oily vehicle" for an "incredibly salty payload," with scrambled egg that "barely registered" and "undercooked bacon."
Teriyaki chicken with steamed rice and Asian slaw ($16) got the worst review, with the Post reporters stating it was "virtually inedible," adding it was a "bland interpretation of a dish that usually coats the featured protein in a sweet, savory and deeply satisfying glaze."
It sounds awful, and I feel bad for these tourists who spent a lot to attend this fiasco of a "fair."
